1634

In the midst of the tumultuous Thirty Years' War, the Confederated Principalities of Europe, an alliance between Swedish King Gustavus Adolphus and 20th-century Americans led by Mike Stearns, are striving to leverage their technological superiority to reshape the past. With the iron mines critically damaged by war and American expertise needed to restore them, the mission becomes increasingly complex. As tensions rise with the discovery of revolutionary ideas in an encyclopedia and Albanian exiles plotting in Naples, Stearns must navigate a precarious political landscape to prevent chaos from engulfing Grantville and the CPE.
